Telegram to MT5 MultiChannel Copier
- Utilities
- Version: 1.20
- Updated: 17 July 2026
- Activations: 5
Telegram to MT5 Multi-Channel Copier automatically copies trading signals from your Telegram channels directly into MetaTrader 5. No bots, no browser extensions, no manual copying. You receive a signal on Telegram and the EA opens the trade on your terminal in a few seconds.
The product includes two components: a Windows application that listens to your Telegram channels, and this Expert Advisor that executes the signals on your MT5 terminal. An MT4 version is also available.

How It Works
The Windows app connects to Telegram using your own API credentials — not a bot. This means it can read any channel, group or topic you are subscribed to, including private and VIP channels. When it detects a signal, it parses it and sends it to the EA. The EA resolves the symbol name according to your broker, calculates the lot size based on your risk settings, and opens the trade.
The entire process is automatic. You do not need to be in front of your computer.
- Open the app and log into Telegram (only the first time).
- Select which channels or topics you want to listen to.
- Press Start. The EA handles the rest.
Supported Signal Formats
The built-in signal parser recognizes a wide variety of formats used by real Telegram providers, with no configuration needed. It detects keywords in both English and Spanish, and also handles messages with heavy emoji decoration, Unicode bold text and mixed languages.
It correctly reads both US-style and European numeric notation, and automatically recognizes the most common indices.
The parser also handles update messages sent as a reply to the original signal: move to breakeven, close position, or change SL and TP. When a channel edits a signal to add or modify values, the EA applies the update to the correct position.
Smart filters built in:
- Result summaries: performance and balance messages from the channel are ignored automatically so they are never confused with new signals.
- Informational messages: alerts for target-reached events are identified as status and never processed as price changes on open positions.
- Explicit breakeven: if a channel edits a signal so SL equals the entry price, the EA reads it as a move-to-breakeven instruction.
- OCR support: channels that send signals as images are also supported. Requires installing Tesseract OCR (free, external).
Smart Symbol Resolution
The EA includes an alias table covering forex, metals, indices, oil and crypto, and automatically detects broker suffixes. The usual variants of each instrument are resolved with no configuration.
For non-standard cases, the app includes a Custom Symbol Matches dialog where you can map any token to the exact symbol name your broker uses.
Risk Management
Four risk modes available:
- Fixed lot — always trades with the same lot size.
- Percent of balance — risks a fixed percentage per trade. Requires SL in the signal.
- Fixed money — risks a fixed amount per trade. Requires SL in the signal.
- From signal — uses the lot size sent by the provider directly.
If the signal has no SL and you are using the percent or money modes, the EA uses a configurable fallback lot so the trade is not skipped.
Order Execution
Market vs pending orders. The EA automatically decides whether to open a market order or a pending order based on the distance between the signal's price and the current market. The threshold is configurable in pips.
Multiple take profits. When a signal includes several TP levels, you can choose to open one position per TP or use only the first one. You can also limit how many TPs are used.
Multiple entries. When a signal brings several entry prices, you can use only one or open an independent order per price.
Default SL and TP. If the signal does not include a Stop Loss, the EA applies one at a configurable distance from the entry price. Same for Take Profit.
Discard rules. You can choose to ignore signals without an entry price, or without a Stop Loss. Useful for prop firm rules.
Custom SL and TP Override
Sometimes the channel's SL and TP do not fit your risk plan. Custom SL and Custom TP let you completely override what the channel sends and always use your own fixed distance in pips from the entry price.
Each override is independent — you can force your own SL while keeping the channel's TP, or the other way around.
This is separate from the default SL and TP, which only act as fallback when the signal has none. Custom SL/TP always overrides.
Trade Management
Three independent functions you can enable separately or combine, to manage open positions without waiting for manual updates from the channel.
Partial close + breakeven. Automatically closes a percentage of the position when it reaches a profit in pips, then moves the Stop Loss of the remaining part to breakeven.
Standalone breakeven. Moves the Stop Loss to the entry price once the trade reaches a configurable profit, without closing any part of the position.
Trailing stop. Dynamic Stop Loss that follows price at a fixed distance as the trade moves in your favour. Activates after a configurable threshold and keeps a configurable separation. Two optional behaviours: cancel related pending orders from the same channel when trailing triggers, or remove the TP from the position to let the move run as long as the trail holds.
Filters
Fine-grained control over which signals the EA executes:
- Allowed symbols — trade only specific instruments.
- Blocked symbols — ignore specific instruments.
- Allowed channels — trade only signals from specific channels.
- Blocked channels — ignore signals from specific channels.
Symbol filters support aliases. Channel filters use partial matching and also work on individual topics from forum-style channels.
These filters are especially useful when running multiple EA instances on different terminals, each processing a different set of channels or instruments.
Custom keywords. From the app you can add your own keywords for each action — useful for providers that use uncommon phrasing or other languages.
Multi-Terminal Support
The Windows app detects all MT4 and MT5 installations on your computer and lets you choose which terminals receive the signals. You can use the default shared mode or direct signals to a specific terminal — any mix of MT4 and MT5 is supported.
Combined with the EA's channel and symbol filters, this lets you run independent strategies on different accounts.
License covers 5 MT4/MT5 terminal activations per purchase.
Performance Panel
A visual panel rendered directly on your chart shows real-time statistics for every signal source: number of trades, win rate, net result and total pips. The panel updates automatically as trades open and close.
Interactive period buttons let you switch the analysis window with one click.
When you listen to a forum-style channel, each topic appears as its own row.
Update and Close Management
When a channel sends an update about a previous signal, the EA applies it to the correct position automatically. If the update is sent as a reply to the original Telegram message, the match is exact. If not, the EA finds the correct position by comparing symbol and prices.
Both open positions and pending orders are managed: a close command will close market positions and delete pending orders from the same signal.
Reliable subscriptions. If a channel admin renames the channel in Telegram, your subscription is preserved automatically. Channels that become inaccessible are cleaned up on refresh.
Support Bundle
A one-click button in the app packages the log, current configuration and recent EA logs into a single ZIP file, ready to attach to a support message. Sensitive data is stripped or masked before the file is created.
